Description
WebApp won't let me verify saltpack signatures, but that's the only format that Linux GUI outputs signatures to.
1. Signing message in Linux: Crypto/Sign
2. Verifying same message in Linux: Crypto/Verify
3. Error received from same message in keybase.io/verify. (Same result whether I'm logged-in or -out.)
---
For what it's worth, WebApp will verify PGP signatures, but I'd rather have Saltpack support since signing via PGP requires that I leave the GUI and open the CLI.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported flow: create a saltpack signature in the Linux GUI, then submit it to keybase.io/verify while comparing it with a PGP signature. Trace the web verification entry point and determine what is needed for saltpack input to be accepted; done means the same GUI-generated signature verifies successfully in the web app.
